Tani Otoshi in the wrong hands is plenty go-tarded as you put it. I've seen more colored belts rip uke knees with Tani Otoshi than any other throw in the Gokyo.

Well that term generally means "dependant on strength and/or explosiveness" not "liable to injure" although there's plenty of overlap (see: can openers from guard, the entirety of catch wrestling).

Not saying you would do that, all the one's you've shown were plenty safe.

In the interests of my partners' safety though, how does that injury usually happen?

The video says "german suplex"... I thought a german suplex was when you were front-to-front with the opponent, and a standard suplex was when you were front-to-back with your opponent. Do I have this wrong?

one could argue that a value of the suplex is being able to gain strong positional control without severely injuring someone. especially a drunk dumbass that will probably regret their actions later.

True

As a bouncer, it's a way to take down someone who's trying to resist removal, too big to push out, and not violent enough to throw or dog-pile. If you feel that hurting people sucks.

@CoffeeFan Like many throws and takedowns, you can dump someone soft or hard, on a soft piece to land on, or a hard one.

Suplex is a broad category, though. A gut-wrench and scramble can get you on top of a drunk without too much trouble. A technical, dump-some-fella-on-his-head suplex, however, is beyond the scope of my experience. And probably not often warranted outside of competition.

A German supplex front-to-front could be the r34l d34dly or at least the r34l c4r33r3nd3r.
Here in Belgium it's even considered an illegal move in Wrestling, Grappling and MMA.

Okay, I for some reason feel the need to take a crack at this. A suplex has the same value as any other dynamic throw to physically slam an opponent into the ground, which is to inflict bodily harm. It is separated from your garden variety judo/wrestling throw in that when done correctly it will land your opponent on his head/neck/shoulder area. It has potential if done exactly correct to knock your opponent unconscious. Note that any other throw can break ribs, knock the wind out, bang the back of someones head against the mat/concrete, as well. Its definitely among the more difficult throws to master, and most decent grapplers won't give up the type of control you need to throw one properly. If there are people watching it might get you a round of beers and some vajayjay later for making you look badass, but its not the be all end all that people make it out to be. This being said, somebody suplexed me once and it was certainly demoralizing, much scarier than a Japanese wizzer or a hiptoss, so there could be a psychological component too it. That and its a cool word to say, sssuuuuppplleexxx.
